BBC Studios announces Season 10 as the next installment in the DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION Blu-ray range
BBC Studios continues to offer Doctor Who fans the opportunity to build their own home archive on Blu-ray. The first jam-packed release for Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor, Doctor Who – The Collection: Season 10, debuts on Monday 8th July, the very day after Pertwee himself would have turned 100.
In 1973, Doctor Who celebrated its tenth anniversary with a very special story reuniting the first two Doctors – William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton – with Jon Pertwee’s then-current Doctor. The Three Doctors kicks off an explosive, colourful series of adventures across all of time and space as the Doctor and Jo Grant (Katy Manning) encounter the rogue Time Lord Omega, the terrifying Drashigs, the noble Draconians, fearsome Ogrons, deadly Daleks and slithering giant maggots. Season 10 also includes the final appearance of Roger Delgado as the Doctor’s arch nemesis The Master, plus adventures alongside Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) and UNIT.
Starring alongside Jon Pertwee are Katy Manning, Nicholas Courtney, Roger Delgado, Richard Franklin and John Levene.
With all episodes newly remastered from the best available sources, this Blu-ray box set also contains extensive and exclusive special features which include:
- A brand new feature-length documentary examining the Third Doctor’s Era, with archival contributions from Jon Pertwee, Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks plus all-new interviews with Katy Manning, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, presented by Matthew Sweet.
- Updated special effects and surround sound mix for Planet of the Daleks.
- Five new instalments of Behind the Sofa, featuring Katy Manning, Richard Franklin (Captain Yates) and John Levene (Sergeant Benton), along with 21st century Doctor Who panel Phil Collinson (Producer/Executive Producer), Pete McTighe (Writer) and Joy Wilkinson (Writer).
- Looking for Lennie, a documentary investigating the life of director Lennie Mayne.
- Keeping up with the Jones’, which sees Katy Manning with Stewart Bevan (Cliff Jones) pay a return visit to the Welsh locations from The Green Death.
- Plus: a repeat omnibus of The Green Death unseen since Christmas 1973, rare Panopticon convention footage, Blu-ray trailer, HD photo galleries plus scripts, production files and rare documentation provided as PDFs.
- The six-disc box set also includes hours of extensive special features previously released on DVD including two episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures that saw Katy Manning’s Jo Jones meet the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith).
A specially shot announcement trailer – and sequel to classic adventure The Green Death – has debuted on the Doctor Who YouTube channel; written by new series contributor Pete McTighe (Kerblam!) and starring original Doctor Who companion, Katy Manning.
DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION – SEASON 10 includes the following stories from 1972/73:
- The Three Doctors
- Carnival of Monsters
- Frontier in Space
- Planet of the Daleks
- The Green Death
RRP: £56.16 and available from www.zoom.co.uk , www.amazon.co.uk and www.zavvi.com

July 10th, 2019 - 9:15pmHi everyone.
Has anybody noticed their Jcard (outer cardboard bit that disc box sits in) front cover picture not lining up very well this time round with Jon Pertwee on the box.
Wish I’d never noticed it but now my ocd won’t let me forget. I know its only about 3mm out. Saw a copy in hmv that was lined up perfectly and I’ve even watched a few unboxings on YouTube and everyones seems different… same as mine, slightly worse or perfect.
Only a little annoyance but still.
Loving the set. Watched 2 discs so far.
DrWhoFanJ
July 12th, 2019 - 3:46pmMine too! It’s really been annoying me as well!
dazzleshell
July 12th, 2019 - 5:11pmDrWhoFanJ. I think once I have more sets on my shelf it won’t bother me. Currently have covers on display with DVDs inbetween, but will eventually display only 1 season per Doctor that way.
I sent a message to Zoom but as I’ve opened set I can’t return it. I only noticed afterwards. I have emailled BBC too just as a cheeky ask to see if they will replace J Card. Not expecting anything but worth a try.
dazzleshell
July 17th, 2019 - 2:37pmWell the reply from BBC is what I expected…
Thank you for your email.
This has been checked and the printing is within the allowed tolerance.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to issue any replacements or re-prints.

July 10th, 2019 - 7:32pmMine arrived today! Now to find a season 12 box set that isn’t up on eBay for £200+…..
Rob W
July 10th, 2019 - 7:39pmU.S. edition around £50 plus postage on Amazon.co.uk, but you might also get hit for import duties and VAT.
Lee
July 10th, 2019 - 7:49pmYou don’t get hit with import or customs fees as it’s covered with their import fees deposit when using Amazon global shipping.
What they quote you at checkout is what you pay. They’ll tell you what the import fees deposit is at checkout.
With the deposit included it works out at £50. Just make sure you order directly from Amazon and not a 3rd party seller. You’ll get hit with customs if you buy from a 3rd party on there.
Billy
July 10th, 2019 - 11:24pmI would but it doesn’t match with the UK, they are just in normal Blu-Ray slimline cases. Also don’t like that it says ‘Tom Baker Season 1’ other than Season 12.
Ollie
July 11th, 2019 - 6:55am£61.99 on eBay for an imported version. Free PP
The ergon
July 11th, 2019 - 10:46amUnless youre prepared to fork out i can,t see you getting this cheap in the season 12 box, unless of course they reissue with amendments and corrected discs further down the line. I know its Limited Edition for a reason but they did a reissue of Season 16 on DVD which i believe was limited at the time but reissued as there was an outcry from fans that they were unable to get a copy. That series 9 steelbook is the worst. Now Going for £3-400. No chance. Next format please.
Prof Horner
July 11th, 2019 - 11:30amWell I got mine off mine off Amazon for 49 pound . don’t know if there are any left.
Chris Howarth
July 11th, 2019 - 2:15pmI suspect it will be reissued eventually, but in different packaging, since it’s only the packaging that’s the Limited Edition aspect of the release. I’m guessing of course, but I’m expecting it be similar to the US box and without the booklet.
The ergon
July 11th, 2019 - 2:46pmAnd its this packaging thats put me off collecting these. Now if it had been hard cardboard like they used for the DVD releases of the first three Hartnell stories. Sturdier packaging thats for sure, not thin paper/ cardboard. If i had these i would simply have to transfer the Blu-Ray discs to the DVD cases and vice versa to avoid wear and tear.
dazzleshell
July 11th, 2019 - 11:13pmThe Ergon. It is hard cardboard for the book box. It is just the jcard that is the thinner cardboard.
The ergon
July 12th, 2019 - 9:44amIt is hard card on the book style box but still prone to wear wheras the outside for the Hartnell DVD boxset ‘The Beginning’ had a thin plastic covering to strengthen the cardboard. They did this on the Season 16 boxset DVD but went thin card on subsequant others but it didn,t matter as the DVD cases them selves protected them.That jcard is thin and you have to be extra careful when taking the bookbox out. I prefer something more solid.

July 12th, 2019 - 2:22pmIt’s in stock on Argos website for £40.00

July 12th, 2019 - 9:21pmSeasons 18 & 10 are available on Argos, but season 12 isn’t. That hasn’t been available to buy in the shops for a while now. The only places to get S12 now are imported or ebay paying silly prices (unless you get lucky somehow).

July 10th, 2019 - 7:07pmjust a quick question: how much of this is in full HD??????
Rob W
July 10th, 2019 - 7:34pmI can only confirm having watched the Photo Galeries and Sarah Jane Adventures 2 parter they are in HD.
Lee
July 10th, 2019 - 4:06pmHas anyone got up to the Planet of the daleks disc yet? I’ve tried switching on the updated special effects option and there doesn’t seem to be any difference, I can’t see any updated effects. Usually I can go into change the angle option and it changes between these, but there’s no option to do that on mine.
What effects have been changed exactly?
Anyone else noticed this?
Lee
July 10th, 2019 - 4:50pmIgnore that! Just watched episode 6 – very nice! 😉
Thought my player was knackered for a while there, or I’d gone blind! 😀
70’s child
July 10th, 2019 - 4:01pmExcellent CGI for Planet of the Daleks, but why no Dalek laser effects I wonder, and the same for the Thal weapons. Looking at the Day of the Daleks special edition where the laser effects, really add to the scenes, it is a missed opportunity with Planet. Loving the animal eyes in Ep 5 – much better!!!
Anonymous
July 10th, 2019 - 6:52pmOh wow I didn’t even realise the animals were cgi. I was making fun of them to my partner before they showed up and then was like ‘wow ignore what I said they’re better than I remember’
Lee
July 10th, 2019 - 7:54pmI didn’t even notice the animal eyes! Nice! 😀
The Moffatt Paradox
July 11th, 2019 - 3:37pm70’s child.You just told me what I have wanted to know ALL ALONG.
I now know not to waste £40 if they weren’t going to go the whole hog and have proper Dalek gun beam/extermination effects and beam effects for the Thal weapons as with the special edition of Day of the Daleks.That just isn’t a missed opportunity:it’s downright stupid.Maybe they’ll be a special edition of this special edition showing them what else they should also have done in the first place here.Talk about false expectations.
So my verdict on this news as a Dalek might put it: “They have failed, they have failed, they have failed ,they have failed, they must SELF DESTRUCT !!!”
The Moffat Paradox
July 11th, 2019 - 4:33pmMind you I did have some suspicions if there wasn’t going to be any new effects/GGI for the rest of the box set; such as no remastered Day Of The Daleks like Dalek gun affects when Skaro’s finest open fire when on the Ogron planet in the final part of “Frontier In Space” before “Planet.”
Anonymous
July 11th, 2019 - 7:36pmHave to say that although the new effect are very good, I leave the original effect on, as it was meant to be. How they were made originally really shows the hard work and great detail they achieved back in the day.
The Moffat Paradox
July 11th, 2019 - 8:46pmOf course “how they were made originally really shows the hard work and great detail they achieved back in the day” Anonymous but as with the digitally remastered with new effects/CGI original “Star Trek” the whole point is surely this is along the lines of what they themselves would have done if the had had the capability that’s available now even with the budget in todays money they had then.
There are always going to be those who are more conservative about this with old Sci-Fi but I think if your going to do this then you go the whole hog with new CGI and effects however discreetly used which is why if for things like weapon effects they weren’t going to follow in the footsteps of the 2010 edition of “Day Of The Daleks” I think that’s a let down and incongruous with the rest of what’s been done here.
Bushboy
July 10th, 2019 - 6:13amDoes anyone know when this set is to be released in Australia?
I have purchased the other sets from JB HI-FI and I assumed it would be available for pre-order by now but no sign of it so far. I hope we are not going to have to wait for months like the US release.

July 10th, 2019 - 10:48amplus. keeping up with the Jones` and the most superb Documentary on Lennie Mayne;Looking For Lennie from Toby Hadoke.
WPAA.. Then add the 90 min Jon pertwee, Third Man Doco mentioned by Rob W and the Set is well on the way for Best overall set. New
found interview From Katy on Nationwide.
Something that is Not Given much in the way of promotion, are the Document Files; 1000s of pages of letters, building plans, script letters, all in addition to scripts, Radio times, Annual, advertising paperwork. etc. Which are a joy to read.

July 10th, 2019 - 1:14pmwell Bryan. I would love to read the PDF’s but I have no way to read them on my computer. Documentaries sound nice. I love era documentaries about how stories were made. The Last Chance Saloon on the Gunfighters DVD is my favourite!
bryan
July 10th, 2019 - 1:39pmThere are loads of tiny external Blu ray drives. just plug into usb and you can watch BR ,record BR , read files on both Dvd and and Blu Ray.
I am so not techy, but even i can manage this ,put PDF files on the Handwindow for easier more later reading. around the 25-30 price range before promotions or sales.

July 9th, 2019 - 10:00pmDid any other Australians get a message from Sanity saying their order was cancelled because the of supplier? I ended up going to Zavvi and ordering the UK version which is still compatible but I don’t understand why it was cancelled and not just delayed if they were having issues. Also odd it happens the same day as it is released in the UK, as the Australian version wasn’t set to come out for a few more weeks.
I can’t even find a local supplier for the Colin Baker blu ray. Probably go with Zavvi for that now too.
Geordie
July 12th, 2019 - 8:38amI’ve always just used zavvi, they take a while but the australian versions usually take ages anyway, there’s more consistency between the sets in terms of design anyway.
Tardis7
July 9th, 2019 - 7:58pmI thought they would of done a new documentary for three doctors not use the dvd version
BtsR
July 9th, 2019 - 10:26pmWhy ? It doesn’t need a new one. The one on the dvd was already a very good documentary. Plus theres nothing more they can add to it. Not a lot of people who was involved who are still around today can add much to it. Plus you have an extra behind the scenes of it in the third man when they talk about all the seasons of jon pertwee and then a behind the sofa with katy manning, Richard Franklin and john Levine on the three doctors so what more do you need.
I’d much rather they not waste a budget on a making of documentarie if it’s not needed rather more so for seasons 19 where all the stories that never had a making of documentaries got one.

July 9th, 2019 - 11:27pmAs Rob W said. Thanks booboo. I don’t post everyday but I do visit everyday.
Just wondering if you have ever considered having us log into site and have an individual profile of sorts?
booboo
July 10th, 2019 - 8:09amwe thought about but would rather people be able to comment “sensibly” at will, we are fairly unique from that point a view.
It does come with problems though and people who “challenge” the way we do things sometimes have no idea what goes on behind the scenes.
dazzleshell
July 10th, 2019 - 10:35amNo probs booboo. I understand. Keep up the good work.
Jon
July 9th, 2019 - 4:18pmImpressed with the contents of this set, but not so much with the quality of the packaging. The ‘box’ part that holds the discs on mine has been glued in really badly and is misaligned. I’m not going to be ultra fussy or expect it to be perfect but this is just no good for a collectors set. I have asked for an exchange from Amazon. Not the first time I have had a really shoddy set. I do wish they would take a little more care in the construction of the boxes.
Mike the yeti
July 9th, 2019 - 4:40pmConsidering I used to work at amazon and know how they handle boxes at times I’m really not surprised that you’ve got a damaged one from them. Both my season 12 and 19 was badly glued on and coming off so I stopped ordering them on amazon. Since I ordered off zoom my season 18 and 10 have been in great condition and glued perfectly done. Although I do agree they should of used a much better glue as they one they currently use instead is isn’t really meant to be used as glue, it’s a glue kind that useally is used for Jay cards like with the dalek movie steelbooks. But then again after seeing how badly most youtubers open and show the sets I’m not surprised there sets are breaking. Take care off it. Or try and get replacement or order somewhere better.
booboo
July 9th, 2019 - 4:55pmjust curious to know how would badly glued boxes effect the ones from Amazon and not zoom? as all your Amazon sets are like this are they being sent inferior products or something or is it just the way Amazon handle them?
Mike the yeti
July 9th, 2019 - 6:38pmAmazon aren’t always the best with handling boxes especially if theres a dead line to get them out. Off course I suppose you cant blame as they dont know what’s in the boxes or how fragile sometimes. Maybe I just have had the worst luck but my season 12 glue was all flaky and in 3 different chunks. So I had to glue it on myself witch doesn’t look to scruffy but not the cleanest. My season 19 had pulled off the base and ripped off part of Davisons top head. So I had to but a new box of ebay. I decided to go with zoom because of how early people got them and since then I’ve had no problems with the glue. Season 18 does has a few bubbles but it’s fine but season 10 looks great and I’m very impressed with it.
MIKSK89
July 9th, 2019 - 11:04pmIts got nothing to do with amazon, got my copy from there and its holding up fine.
Jon
July 10th, 2019 - 9:16amIt’s not damage, it just hasn’t been made properly. Sloppy manufacture. It’s not an issue with the distributors…
booboo
July 10th, 2019 - 9:21amThat ok,hope they replace it, i was really referring to mike the yeti’s comment who said he used to work for amazon
Both my season 12 and 19 was badly glued on and coming off so I stopped ordering them on amazon. Since I ordered off zoom my season 18 and 10 have been in great condition and glued perfectly
it implies its an Amazon isuue.
Jon
July 10th, 2019 - 11:58amNo worries booboo. As normal Amazon have been excellent. Offered a refund or replacement. I have Prime so asked for the replacement yesterday lunchtime and will be with me before 9pm today. Then got 28 days to send back the bad one. What more can you ask? Very good service.
booboo
July 10th, 2019 - 12:04pmthat’s good to hear and good service
Anonymous
July 10th, 2019 - 3:01pmVery unhappy with Amazon. My set was just sent in an oversized Jiffy bag. So, of course, it arrived damaged (one corner bashed-in). Amazon did offer me a replacement, but there’s no point getting another one if they’re going to use unsuitable packaging…
Jon
July 10th, 2019 - 7:28pmI had that once. Seems to be the luck of the draw. If you order another it should come in a cardboard carton. The vast majority do. I would give them another try…
Anonymous
July 10th, 2019 - 10:00pmThanks, Jon. I’ve already posted my set back to Amazon for a refund, and re-ordered from Zoom. Have already pre-ordered Season 23 from Amazon. Could cancel it, but will see what happens and bear your experience in mind if I get an over-sized Jiffy bag again!
Mike the yeti
July 10th, 2019 - 11:37pmSorry booboo but if your gonna qoute me at least dont take it out of contents like I’m trying to slander Amazon. Maybe if you read my other comment too youd see that. But what I wasnt clear on was that I worked at the warehouse of amazon although i thought it be obvious. I said at the beginning that due to Amazon’s schedules I dont blame them if packaging arrives damaged due to the the fact I know what its can be like if you have a dead line. The same can be said about royal mail who are probably the worst for handling packages. Then went on to say the glue they use inst the best and on my reply 2nd comment near the end I said season 18 still has some bubble issues on the glue but season 10 is fine. Also I said maybe it’s me and getting the worst luck which is most probably true. So not causing an argument but dont take it out off contents. Also I think zoom does deserve credit as I think there delivery is great. Plus 2 more people have just said they also had bad experiences with these sets from Amazon.
booboo
July 11th, 2019 - 5:45amstand by my comments, they are there for all to read.
If you want to drive people away from buying from your ex employee your certainly saying the right things.

July 9th, 2019 - 12:29pmI don’t know if anyone else saw the lovely ‘Remembering Jon Pertwee’ video released by the BBC on Facebook in which Sean Pertwee is interviewed by Mathew Sweet. Is that included on the blu-ray set as a separate special feature or part of the big Third Doctor documentary?
Lee
July 9th, 2019 - 6:30pmHaven’t got that far in the boxset yet, only on disc 3, so I’m not sure if it’s included on this boxset yet.

Rob W
July 9th, 2019 - 9:28amNone that I’ve noticed. I’ve given up hope of receiving the corrected Leisure Hive Blu-ray disc form Season 18 and as for the Season 19 issues I don’t think they even looked into them.
dazzleshell
July 9th, 2019 - 9:36amWatched 1 unboxing on YouTube where the back page of booklet was blank.
So make sure you have a photo on page 2 and the bonus disc and credits info on page 27.

July 9th, 2019 - 10:12amI emailed roadshow entertainment in Australia about the replacement discs just yesterday and received a reply apologising for the delay and stating that they are still waiting on delivery of the new discs from the UK. So hopefully the replacements are still going ahead. If not I will definitely think twice about investing in future releases.

July 9th, 2019 - 10:33amThat’s good to know Bushboy as I haven’t heard a thing here in Blighty.

“Dear Rob
Thank you for your email.
The Disc 1 from Season 18 is being worked on.
We will despatch to all customers we have noted details for once the corrected disc is available.
We are awaiting further details with regards to Season 19.

Lee
July 9th, 2019 - 6:23pmRob, why had you given up hope of receiving the replacement? They’ve said they’re going to replace them, but it takes time. They gave an estimated time frame of 6 weeks. But it’s exactly that, just an estimate.
I had to wait over 3 months to get a replacement disc for another BBC non-Who related boxset, but they still delivered it.
Patience – it’ll turn up! 😉
Rob W
July 9th, 2019 - 9:04pmIt’s because Season 19 came out in December mate andI no longer have the receipt. No doubt I’ll need to provide a photo with my details on then. Cheers…

July 9th, 2019 - 9:45pmHow can you enquire about receiving the new Season 18 and 19 discs
Lee
July 9th, 2019 - 9:55pmYou said you’d given up hope of receiving the Season 18 replacement though, so I was assuming that’s the boxset you were talking about?
Where did you buy it from? Online or in store? If it’s online then a copy of the email will do. If it’s in store, just explain that you don’t have the receipt and send them a photo of the boxset, that should be enough.
No idea what is happening with Season 19 yet.
Lee
July 9th, 2019 - 10:00pmAnon, for S18 you can email [email protected] and include a photo of the receipt/email you have.
For S19 I wouldn’t even bother yet, just wait until they announce they’re going to issue replacements for it. At the moment they’ve just said they’re looking into reported issues but that’s all.

July 8th, 2019 - 11:39amIt’s nice to see that the two actors who played Mr and Mrs Ollis are still very much alive and well. One of the great joys is finding people you though probably died years ago are still very much alive .
Very much alive

Robert. G
July 8th, 2019 - 10:10amI have to say l, i’m not minded to purchase this. If I already own the dvds I see no reason to double dip (which is the only reason I bought the season 18 set)-however, I may make an exception for season 11 if the Beeb produces a CGI redux of Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Given there was no CGI Robot for season 12 though, I wouldn’t hold out much hope for that.
As a side note, can anyone tell me if the US version of Season 19 works over here? I left it too late for the UK version, but I see the Region 1 version retailing for a reasonable price…
Anonymous
July 8th, 2019 - 11:28amWell the reason Robot didn’t have new CGI is because there’s only enough budget for one story to get new CGI. For Season 12, that story was Revenge of the Cybermen. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for Invasion of the Dinosaurs because it might be far too much work for the budget to cover, but you never know.
As for a US copy of Season 19, it will work over here but only on region free blu-ray players. If its a UK only player, it will not work unfortunately.
Anonymous
July 8th, 2019 - 12:21pmWhat other story in season 11 needs better cgi effects. Please don’t say Planet of the Spiders. Those spiders look better than that other Series 11 spider episode. But some CSO could be altered easily in that story. We (well me) want(s) Invasion of the Dinosaurs!!!!
Doctor Blu
July 8th, 2019 - 12:34pmI don’t have a multi-region blu-ray player. But Season 19 does work perfectly so it must be region free. The same goes for seasons 12 and 18 which were released in the U.S also. The seller I bought Season 19 from online stated it was region A. But it clearly wasn’t.

July 8th, 2019 - 12:39pmNo, but the Australian version does work over here as we’re the same region (and the Aussie version comes with the fancy packaging, the US version doesn’t). My Season 12 is the Australian version and plays perfectly.

July 8th, 2019 - 1:57pmThanks everyone, particularly Dr Blu. In that case I think i’ll pull the trigger on Region A season 19, as shockingly, I don’t have any Davison on disc (just a few digital video serials in rubbish quality).
And to all those who were happy to double dip on season 10-enjoy your purchase!
Dr who fan 2019
July 8th, 2019 - 7:30amI hope that we get season 1 on vinyl

July 8th, 2019 - 8:12amHow would that work? Be better on bluray would it not more pictures and all that?

July 7th, 2019 - 9:57pmI really wish Zoom delivered to the States. I have to use amazon UK instead, and their packaging methods lately have not been great. And I have to wait another two weeks for mine to get here, but that’s just part of having to import stuff. Loving this collection, I buy the UK and US versions of each so I can support it!

July 7th, 2019 - 9:20pmOh my , this is so superb. The studio quality is stunning on 3 Dr`s and Carnical. and the film on Carnival is simply beautiful, not sure how they made this so good, without the actual film trims. 3Dr`s is a bit soft still , but very good.
If anyone is putting off buying this. The Looking for Lennie Documentary alone, should sway you. Simply wonderful , Toby Hadoke, has so much love and Compasion , and His family, were so kind to let us in on both the fun side and the sad sad of Lennie`s story.
The JP Documentary just beats everything the range has ever done. Amazingly good Documentary.
This season 10 Package might be My Favourite of the range so far.
David
July 8th, 2019 - 8:16pmI agree just watching carnival, it’s hard to believe they had no reference material for the film segments, it’s very good! Studio stuff looks excellent and looking for Lennie is a loving tribute one of Who’s great directors. I haven’t watched it all yet but I look forward to the JP era documentary. I love how they’ve included the Sarah Jane adventures episode on the set! Fantastic work. I also agree that is one of my top sets so far, up there with season 19 that had a great sense of completeness to it.

July 7th, 2019 - 9:14pmI have not received a dispatch email from Zoom but should get it for release day tomorrow. I ordered back on the 16/04/2019. Has anyone else found the same thing?
Gordon
July 7th, 2019 - 9:44pmCheck your zoom account. I never got an email dispatch but my account says it’s dispatched
dazzleshell
July 7th, 2019 - 10:28pmI got the previous set 3 days early from Zoom but this time I expect it to arrive on Release day as was dispatched on Friday. Had to log in to check. I ordered mine in 16/4 too.
Lee
July 8th, 2019 - 11:26amThis is the first Zoom order where I didn’t get a dispatch email either. Some people have said you don’t always get one with Zoom though, so best to keep checking the site around the dispatch date.

July 7th, 2019 - 3:42pmBecause I missed out on the first release of Tom Baker’s first season on blu-ray and won’t pay the silly secondary market prices for it, I’ve not bought any of the others. I’m holding out a hope that when they are all released we might see one final complete blu-ray boxset for each of the Doctors. If the BBC is listening, then they’ll get my money.
Doctor Blu
July 8th, 2019 - 3:10pmI missed the first two releases. As I was in two minds whether to purchase the stories again on blu-ray, as I already had them on DVD. However, earlier this year I seen that the American release of Peter Davison’s first season was for sale online at a very reasonable price. So I bought it, taking a bit of a gamble as it was stated as Region A. Surprisingly it worked absolutely fine. So I then purchased Season 18 and 12. The packaging certainly doesn’t look as nice as the U.K releases. But they at least come in sturdy blue plastic packaging. Also I’m not bothered that they call season 12, Tom Baker Season One for example.
Ollie
July 8th, 2019 - 8:57pmYou can get the imported region free version of Season 12 on eBay for £61.99. Free PP. Dispatched from Wirral near Liverpool. Got to be better than spending £250 for one.
Lee
July 8th, 2019 - 9:34pmYou can get the US version from Amazon.com for £50, and that’s including the import fees. I believe those work fine on UK players.
Will only take about 5 days to arrive.
I’ve actually ordered items several items from Amazon.com to the UK and I’ve received them faster than when I’ve ordered from Amazon UK! 😀
The Werewolf
July 8th, 2019 - 10:07pmYou could get hit by customs though
Lee
July 8th, 2019 - 11:33pmAmazon import fees deposit covers that. I’ve never had any import or customs fees from anything I’ve ordered from them. And I’ve ordered some fairly big items.
Think you only get hit with customs fees if it’s a third party seller.
Lee
July 8th, 2019 - 11:45pmThat should have read “extra import fees”.
What I’ve paid at the checkout is the final amount I’ve paid every time. And because you pay the import fees deposit, it includes Customs clearance. Any additional customs fees are covered by Amazon.
And if the import fees work out less than the amount calculated at checkout, then it’s refunded back to you.

July 7th, 2019 - 12:45pmWhat’s the point of releasing this I thought it was the 3rd doctors entire episodes from first appearance to regeneration , your telling me it’s just a couple of specials and and handful of his episodes , what a massive disappointment
booboo
July 7th, 2019 - 1:08pmyou had better get used to being disappointing then if your expecting a Doctors entire run on Blu-ray with all the new features for £39.
Gordon
July 7th, 2019 - 1:42pmBut it quite clearly states it’s season 10. I don’t get why you would be expecting anything other than the stories from that season. It doesn’t say the complete Jon Pertwee era. It’s not just a couple of specials either. The season is 24 episodes split over 5 stories
Moodbeam
July 7th, 2019 - 2:47pmTo add to this, this is the fourth season box set now, the contents are hardly a surprise.
Ollie
July 7th, 2019 - 3:20pmHaha! What an idiot!
Gareth Pugh
July 7th, 2019 - 10:08pmEr…. what? It’s a whole 26 episode season Mark!
Chris Howarth
July 8th, 2019 - 8:17amWhy would you think such a thing Mark? Even someone with the thinking capacity of a Love Island contestant would realise it’s the latest in a sequence of Season box sets featuring the episodes from the very season advertised on said box!

July 7th, 2019 - 9:48amTo anybody to has this: is the episode of ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures’ in HD?
Gordon
July 7th, 2019 - 1:43pmI heard it is
dazzleshell
July 7th, 2019 - 10:29pmIt will be. It was shot in hd.

July 8th, 2019 - 4:03pmDeath Of The Doctor is presented in 2 seperate parts (with commentary track) in 1080p 50hz with DTS-HDMA Stereo sound
Anonymous
July 7th, 2019 - 12:17amI hate to be disrespectful but I’ve found some of the special features on this set rather “plain” shall we say
Lee
July 7th, 2019 - 4:44pmWhat do you mean by plain? 3 of these stories already had special editions so you can’t expect there to be a lot more put on to those discs.
I think the whole boxset has an extensive set of special features. What exactly were you expecting? Not trying to cause an argument, but just wondering.
The only thing I would like to have seen is more studio footage (especially for Three Doctors), but if it doesn’t exist then there isn’t really much can be done about that. I’m happy with the boxset though.

July 7th, 2019 - 5:53pmThe looking for Lennie feature isn’t really my cup of tea
Lee
July 8th, 2019 - 11:22amI enjoyed it to be honest, thought some moments were quite touching. Interesting to see how he’d gone from being a ballet dancer to a director.
Not everyone’s cup of tea I suppose, but I found it interesting and enjoyable.

July 6th, 2019 - 9:17pmMine arrived from Zoom this morning. Absolutely lovely package and already working my way through the new extras. Loved the Nationwide extracts that I hadn’t seen before. Absolutely recommended

July 6th, 2019 - 8:54pmArrived from Zoom in perfect condition this morning (two days early!) 🙂 Recommend
Robert Sienicki
July 6th, 2019 - 1:20pmAnyone ordered from Zoom from outside of UK? I am located in Poland and I am thinking if they are good with abroad shipping. I use Amazon, cause I didn’t have any problems with them in the past with the packages so I don’t want to risk it.
Rob W
July 6th, 2019 - 2:28pmZoom’s delivery costs to EU countries are from £2.99 Robert.
Shane
July 6th, 2019 - 7:47pmI am in Ireland. They are good. A package never arrived once and the sent out a replacement one. Amazon have been just as good with issues like this for me too. It did take quite a while for me to receive Season 19 after despatch but I think it was only despatched from warehouse and not actually to Royal Mail.

July 7th, 2019 - 10:24pmI’m from France, ordered multiple times from zoom after a disappointment with amazon, and never had a problem with them.
Robert Sienicki
July 8th, 2019 - 12:35pmOh, great. Then I may give them a try with some future set. How long did it take to deliever to France? With Amazon is taking around a week, but Zoom seems to be dispatching stuff earlier than Amazon.

July 6th, 2019 - 12:23pmJust ordered from Zoom after seeing it’s sold out at HMV and Amazon. Thought I’d be safe for leaving this one a bit like the last two…but nope!
Rob W
July 6th, 2019 - 2:30pmI think it’s just down to the pre-orders being sold out. You’ll only pay about a quid more from HMV mate…
